bell hooks
this came up in a conversation, and since the zine i read it in is packed into a box in a closet in California, i decided to go digging through my lj-archive to find it. it's a bell hooks quote, on openness and truth.
There are some folks for whom openness is not about the luxury of "will I choose to share this or that," but rather "will I survive - will I stay alive?" and openness is about how to be well, and telling the truth is about how to put the broken bits & pieces of the heart back together again. It is about being whole, being wholehearted.
